I began by making a slab mug and cutting the edges at a 45 degree angle. I then pulled the handle and attached it. After I let the cup dry I used the needle tool and created a grid.
I then carved each piece individually and erased the lines from the grid.Once the clay was fired I glazed the entire thing black and rinsed the glaze off in the sink. The black glaze stayed in the cracks to make an outline. I then glazed each piece individually.
I really liked the way the first cup looked so I made another. I then glazed the inside and handle blue.
To make sure the cup was safe to use I clear glazed the entire thing.
I then washed the cups out to complete the project.
